The Best Android Golf Games – Updated

Everyone knows that golf games are better than actual, real-life golf. That’s just a fact. Don’t argue, there’s no point. It’s one of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. But which are the best Android golf games?

That’s the question we’re trying to answer with this list. We’ve got golf sims, arcade golf blasts from the past, and at least one game that involves playing golf on a completely different planet.

You can click on the names of the games below to download them from the Play Store, and unless otherwise noted they’re premium. And if you’ve got your own favorite golf game, let us know about it in the comments section.

The Best Android Golf Games

Let’s look at the lineup.

WGT Golf

A big, super-polished free-to-play golf game. There are loads of balls, loads of courses and plenty of fun to be had. This is one of those games that try to recreate actual golf, but without the physical effort. You can join a player-driven country club and even gift equipment to other players, so there’s a social side to the game too.

Golden Tee Golf

Another free-to-play golf smasher that sees you playing against other people in little competitions. It balances silliness and simulation in some pretty neat ways. The game offers a ton of customization options, both cosmetically and in gearing up for a game, so you can get as deep into the gameplay as you like.

Golf Clash

If EA isn’t a turn-off, there’s Golf Clash, an easy-to-learn and fun ride that has a shot minigame mechanic, as well as a range of cosmetics you add your over personal flare to your play, and maybe demoralize.. or annoy your opponent.

PGA Tour Golf Shootout

Another one that sees you taking on other players from across the world. You can play along casually, collect different clubs, or delve into the PVP scene. There are even big multiplayer tournaments to really test yourself against other players. Like golf? Love this.

OK Golf

A simple and relaxing game of golf spread across a series of gorgeous little dioramas. It’s made for short bursts to kill a bit of time. It’s easy to pick up and play, and once it gets its golf fangs in you, it’s difficult to put it down.

Golf Battle

Sometimes you do just want to get a bit more silly with it, and that’s what the colorful multiplayer mini-golf game Golf Battle from the venerable Miniclip gives you. This is a free to play affair, and can be a little grating it how much it touts its IAPs, but the core of the game is solid, and it’s a good jumping-in point for more casual players to have some fun.

Golf Peaks

What’s better than a golf game? How about a golf game that you play with cards? That’s what Golf Peaks is. Part puzzler, part golf game, it’s all pretty darn neat. And it’s an awful lot of smart fun. There are over a hundred and twenty courses to try out, so it’ll keep you occupied for a while.

Golfing Over It

Ever taken a look at Getting Over It and thought ‘This isn’t painful enough, it needs ball physics’? Then congratulations. Golfing Over It invites you to suffer your way up a surreal upward course, where the smallest mistake can send you right back to the bottom.

Super Stickman Golf 2

It might have been out for a while, but this arcade blast is still well worth checking out. There are over twenty different courses and customizable characters. It’s got single-player, it’s got multiplayer, it’s got goop and goo, and a whole lot more. It’s free with IAP.

Golf On Mars

Finally, you can answer one of the great mysteries of the cosmos. What’s it like to play golf on other planets? There’s a mesmeric rhythm to this one that’s going to keep you thwacking balls around Mars until you’ve lost all sense of reality.

Forest Golf Planner

If you’d like to design golf rather than play it, there’s always this management sim from veteran dev Kairosoft. Create the ultimate golf course, give your players what they want, and rise through the ranks to become the top-rated course.

Golf Blitz

If you want something realistic, considered, and slow paced… then definitely don’t get Golf Blitz. The golf equivalent to kart racer games, Golf Blitz is a wacky, cartoony golf race game, with realtime matches, surreal courses, bizarre characters, and physics-defying power-ups.

So that’s our round-up of the best Android golf games. On the lookout for more of the best? We’ve just come up with a list of the best Android games with controller support to check out too!
